fut-lnr_vr_bw_o_n (ca. 1950-60, verso stamped with Birnback Pub. Svc. & 1144)
A – I’ll spare you the excessive adjectives that this deserves – depiction of an expedition(?), colonization(?) party disembarking on the moon.
Although the look of the spacecraft strongly suggests Baron Sándor Leidenfrost, aka Alexander Leydenfrost, the top sliver of a signature…unless Sanyi used all caps/block letters…would be a serious & weak stretch, So, who knows.
The only other version of the image that I was able to find, possibly taken from a book. With no useful information:

On a separate note:
I CANNOT believe it, I’d never even heard of Mr. Leydenfrost! Mind-blowing works by him. Although I’m not surprised, as a Hungarian, he was predisposed to being a genius.
Whoever this is by, it’s really impressive.
Finally, interestingly, maybe even intriguingly - only to me - the erased caption on the back is written in a mix of German & English. If I translated it correctly, it’s pretty generic, basically stating the obvious, ‘man on the moon’. Also, the fact that the text was erased, not just crossed out, would seem to suggest that this photograph merited some level of care, hence I suppose it still being around, in really great condition. The date range is a total guess of course.
